A lot of times, if they need extra help, they will over 1-1/2 times our regular rate. sm
This is the equivalent of OT but you get it even if you have not done 40 hours already. I have also received AmerExp gift cards a few times for incentives offered. I think it depends on the account.

I do know for sure that they are working on an incentive program but I have no details and not even sure if they are still looking at it.

I do know for sure that I make more $$ with Keystrokes than I have ever made anywhere else.
That's what I wondered. Thanks.

I wondered too!!
I found it a couple of weeks ago but nobody was in there  I think it would be a great thing to utilize!!
I wondered about that....
I've went through the testing and everything, just waiting for a call or email! :)
I wondered.....
I missed the earlier posts because I've been working and haven't had a chance to read much on here. I left there about 2 years ago and am glad I did. I feel for those who are still there, especially dealing with the cesspool, and now this, if it is true.
Thanks... that's what I wondered.
It wasn't me actually. It was someone else and the story they told me. I just wondered if there wasn't something more than just the 97-something percent, one time review that was the reason. It doesn't really make sense.
Just saw the ad and wondered
no message.
Ok. Just wondered.
Maybe that's why I have no work today??? lol
I wondered about that...
It doesn't say anything about direct deposit on their website or their ad. Thanks for the info!
I have wondered
the same thing myself...what happens to other benefits when there is little to no work?
OMG!!! I wondered why I didn't see her on IM.
She told me that she did not like using the IM but to still always let her or anyone in quality know if we had a question. She was very patient with me and gave me so much feedback, like all the time. It was a hard account, lot of ESL but she knew all about it. She was awesome. I don't know who to ask now for questions.
Wondered the same thing myself.
Are health care benefits 100% paid by employee?
I wondered that, too. There was a number in
I wonder?
I've wondered the same -
Could they be building up to sell out high? Seems to be a scramble to grab up companies, a race between us and any other country with enough money.

But what do I know, I'm only here for the food(Ever After).
I've often wondered if... sm
the transcriptionists that do 2000 lines a day are not rushing through for production sake and sending reports in with mistakes and not looking things up.  I verify everything and fix the template to look neat and tidy since the template I work on needs a lot of fixing before I can even start typing.  I always wondered if being too obsessive about it was one of the reason I never seem to make any lines.  Also, when I have first started with a few different companies and they sent me example reports I have spotted mistakes in them, and then I figured the initials on the bottom of the example report must be from one of their high producers.
I always wondered what the going rate for rad was
At W I only make 7.5 cpl doing rad, but I didn't have much experience, so I thought it was fair.
I've often wondered the same thing...
Why offshore to save money if you're just going to have to hire editors to correct the mistakes? Sounds like it DUH-feats the whole purpose of it to me!
I've wondered the same thing...

Sure has been quiet since they started bouncing checks, not paying their MTs at all, etc.  I just assumed they had changed their name and were incognito somewhere here.


That's all mine had on it too. I wondered about that, even though I don't need family.

I've wondered about the same thing if...
the IT guy came in remotely and cleaned off anything related to the company and its activities so you were just left with a clean system. Sometime you just like a computer that works great and it would be nice to own it for cheap when leaving a company rather than them paying for shipping back and doing who knows what with it as a used computer when they get it back. Just my thoughts, nothing I have ever done or asked for.
Wondered where my better dictators were when I got on at 3 a.m. this morning.
It is really irritating when pets are put the good/best dictators in their pool and I am put the worst.  Glad you GOT your lines, because I took the beating doing what we should have been sharing, report-wise, rather than leads filling pools of their pets with the good stuff!
Thanks for the info. I wondered about the insurance.
I know a few years ago the insurance was really high so I never applied.  Does anyonoe know how much for family insurance? What insurance is it? Blue Cross, Aetna etc...? Thanks again
That's funny! I wondered how you could know ahead of time! nm

I wondered about that too. Could it be a typo? Thought someone had said 125/hr a few years ago.
xx
Going through the same thing. Wondered if you are working for the same company..
Can you give us a clue who you are talking about. I think it is who I also work for if their name just has initials. If it is, then I will tell you what a big part is...they are overhiring for the wrong accounts and acting desperate on other accounts. Ridiculous. Someone does not know how to organize the work flow.
similar post a month ago or so, someone wondered this....
nm
Good question - I've always wondered that myself.
I don't think the companies want us to know how work is assigned, though.
Ironically, we work for 2 different companies that are in FL and start with an M. I wondered because
other than that one account, I get a great line count on my main one, but I still say I'd dump any job with a big line count discrepancy. Why frazzle yourself.
There was an ad posted yesterday "Editors needed," signed TMMG. I wondered if anyone knew who
was.  TIA.
Could I ask when you noticed it, and what you noticed,
you noticed, and how long ago you quit?  I'm just trying to figure out what the deal is here.  I love MDI and have always felt lucky to work for them.  I hope they don't take a good company and ruin it. 
I noticed that, as well. (nm)

Has anyone else noticed that

this sudden embracing of offshoring came immediately after it became public that Transcend is now offshoring?  First, it seemed that the posters who said this weren't believed and proof was requested.  Then came the sudden embrace of offshoring.  I've noticed other posts on this board where there seemed to be preference shown to Transcend for some unknown reason.


Maybe, rather than lowering standards and doing all this embracing, -- just MAYBE -- it might be time to come clean and just admit that a company might not be as great as some people think it is and that maybe -- just MAYBE -- unhappy employees of that company who posted here in the past were telling the truth, like myself, only to have my honesty questioned by the administrator, who then went on to track the ISP numbers of the people who also expressed their problems with the company.


Now if I'm banned for noticing and expressing this, then that only proves to speak louder than this post ever could.


you have now only noticed?
i type freely when im not working (this helps me not think about work, but just do what i want).

so no need to make a big thing out of it if that is what you're trying to do. if you really wanna find something to pick on to make yourself feel real, go ahead, knock yourself out lol
I noticed that too. nm

Same old, same old. No changes noticed at all.

So far I have not noticed

I am disappointed in CyMed.  They don't pay for spaces and it is very, very hard to get a line count for me.


noticed it too
First thing after reading this posting, I thought how can she/he be saying this with all those errors in the message.
I noticed that the ad said --sm
People Support Rapid Text. I have heard of Rapid Text. Maybe they changed their name??
noticed
I just thought it was ME!!
I noticed that too!
I had applied to it before it went MIA. I noticed it because I had emailed another MT about it who was also looking and she went to the site and could not find it. I looked again too and it was sure enough gone. I thought I was losing my mind for a minute.
Has anyone noticed that sm

Has anyone noticed that lately, once an MT has signed the offer papers for a company to be an employee, (that is formally accepts offer), the wind turns cold? Lack of communication all of a sudden, no updates on training, late training, late equipment and the like?  This MT has had this happen on at least 2 occasions of late.  The first time, ignored and put up with it.  Stayed with company. Okay job but not much work.  Now, same thing again, miscommunications re: start date, difficulty getting anything pinned down.  The other day this MT was highly regarded, now the papers are signed and seems like all of a sudden this MT is in the way.


Deciding to stay with original company and stick things out. But just got an odd feeling about it all. Don't have any bad references, or bad work history... anybody else getting the cold shoulder? Just wondering if just becuase I'm paranoid does mean they are not interested in me. LOL. Thanks in advance for your comments. :)


I noticed that as well.

It is like it flew over the Bermuda Triangle.  It disappeared. 


yes I have noticed!
I am only into the transcription field new somewhat I graduated from my program in May 2005 and have not really started looking for at home until recently. As I had in-house jobs from time I graduated three years ago. This year they came to me emailed me I didn't really go on this site much before now so I wasn't aware of it. I did do a BBB search over 3.5 months ago but I swear nothing came up on them. Yes, I have learned but I do somehow plan to get that money back. Ever hear of rip off report.com? If enough people file a complaint for transam might get somewhere. I lost alot of money out of that and I refuse to let it die just like that. I am now with someone new but I wish I would have known more about this site mtstars 3.5 months ago. Thanks for letting me know though much appreciated!
I noticed it too...
no message (nm).
yes, I have noticed
that too.  what an insult!
Just noticed
The mods will move this to the Gab board so I'm sure I'll have to repost later.
Just noticed this
message. I work for Lee Perfect also.
Yep that's what I noticed...
What a misleading heading US-based MT companies Baloney!!
I have noticed too
It kind of bugs me cuz it makes it seem like they don't think we are smart enough to catch on to a new platform.   It also makes it harder for us to learn new platforms or get the chance if they won't accept you unless you have that prior platform experience.   I personally want to do some VR to learn it so I have that as knowledge but can't because I don't have any experience in it.  But, I do have over 17 years transcription experience which should account for something, both for VR and other platforms.
You know what I have noticed, the ones
that are putting God and family first aren't the ones that are so mean and spiteful on here. Thank you for understanding where I come from. For the rest of you, you should give it a try, God and family, you just might be happier! I will pray for you!
This is what I noticed about VR right away
I post here and have said I have worked on VR now for 4-5 years, time is flying by on me so that is about the time. When working at a hospital, was told going on and then trained on VR inhouse and was told that our pay would be cut as soon as VR was in play which took a very short period of time, less than 1-2 months total. Things that were supposed to be done this way before, seems like the rules relaxed a bit. After VR was in we were outsourced to a MTSO. I am thankful, very thankful, that I got to train inhouse and therefore was not as frightened of VR as some are. It was extremely easy and the platform was good. I personally do not think quality has relaxed any at all for this particular hospital as you better believe it, do something wrong such as get a wrong discharge date and you will hear from them, amongst other things. Maybe the place where this particular person is might start off at the same price but might drop after once trained or knows they can go lower. I very much would doubt any place investigating in such a $$$$$ priced machine hearing from the sales people can save them money in the long run only to have the MTs stay on the same cpl they are making straight typing. I know I get more for straight now than VR.
